Due to popular demand we have just opened a second day on Sunday 5th November.

FAQ's

Perth{web}Girls is an organisation powered by innovation hub, Spacecubed, that empowers and helps women learn coding by organising free programming workshops and meetups

Our goal is to increase the diversity in the tech community, and to spark collaboration, creativity, and expand networks.

Presently, Perth{web}Girls offers HTML & CSS, and Django & Python (negotiable, depending on level of interest for different programming languages) - at beginner level, for those just starting out. All are mentored by leading professionals who have extensive experience in industry.

Our vision is for these workshops to spark an interest in technology and coding, to lead to further education, internships, involvement in the Perth tech community, and even a career.

Who are we?

How much does this workshop cost? Nothing, It's free! You just need to be excited! We even provide food - maybe there is such thing as a free lunch.

Who is this aimed at? Women of any age with basic knowledge of working with a computer. We've had people of all ages taking part. Please bring your laptop.

Do I need to know anything technical? No - this is a workshop designed for beginners. As long as you have a vague understanding of how a computer works, we can teach you the rest! There will be mentors on hand across the weekend to help out with any questions you have.

Do I need to bring my own computer? Yes, you do, we don't have laptops to spare, unfortunately.

Do I need something fancy installed on my own computer? No - we will install everything needed on the day. Mentors will be on hand to make sure all goes smoothly.

Can men attend? Yes, though women are given priority. You also need to bring an interested woman along. Men will be advised a few days out from the event if their registration was accepted.

I know how to program - can I help? Yippee! We're also looking for people to be mentors, so if you would like to offer your time and skills, we would love to have you.

Where is this being held? The event will be held at Spacecubed - 45 St Georges Tce, Perth CBD.
